Suggest Treatment For Systemic Lupus Patient With Painful Arms, Legs, Cross Eyes

Hi. I have systemic lupus. About two years ago I experienced something really strange. While I was watching t.v. my eyes crossed on their own. They were stuck for about 20 seconds. This happened twice. I got an MRI and it revealed nothing. Around the same time, I was having a lot of shooting pains in my arms and legs. It was like electricity that radiated from my hips and shot down my legs. I have been thinking MS although I haven t had those things happen in a couple years. Do you have any suggestions?

Dear Friend,

Thanks for sharing your queries.
I still feel that Co-existent MS is also high possibility. What about nerve conduction studies, eye examination and CSF examination. Other possibility is some demyelination event, which has recovered now. Difficult to differentiate between two, however MS can reoccur. Please get a neurology consultation.
